Steel Gold Pan

Placer mining (, also ) is the mining of alluvial deposits for minerals. This may be done by open-pit (also called open-cast mining) or by various forms of tunneling into ancient riverbeds.

A large shallow dish used to separate small pieces of placer gold from other lighter material like gravel, mud, sand and black sand. The material is placed in the pan with water and agitated.

Cold Steel Mini AK-47 Knife

In 1947 Mikhail Kalashnikov, the legendary Russian gun designer, created the AK-47 assault rifle. Eventually adopted by the Red Army in 1949, it became famous as the -InchPeople's Rifle-Inch. Such renown was well deserved, as it was an utterly reliable weapon. It was rugged, simple to operate and maintain, economical, and effective at reasonable ranges. This weapon, and all it represents became the inspiration for our heavy duty tactical knives, the AK-47 folders. Designed by Andrew Demko, the AK-47's possess all of the attributes of their namesake, and perhaps a few more. They're built for hard and rugged use and are available in two sizes. Both sizes have many features in common. For instance, both are equipped with G-10 handles that offer a vigorous grip that is remarkably tough, rigid and incomparably strong. Also, each size comes with a unique pommel made out of 6061 aluminum. The pommels feature a lanyard hole and can also serve as a -Inchless than lethal-Inch percussion tool in a self-defense situation.

Legendary Russian gun designer Mikhail Kalashnikov created the AK-47 assault rifle in 1947. Adopted by the Red Army in 1949, the rifle earned a reputation as the "people's rifle." The Cold Steel Mini AK-47 heavy-duty tactical knife pays tribute to the famed assault weapon, with a similarly rugged, economical, easy-to-operate design. Designed by knife designer Andrew Demko, the Mini AK-47 knife is built for hard and rugged use, with a hollow-ground 2-3/4-inch blade that's honed by hand until it reaches levels of sharpness usually seen on a surgeon's scalpel. The blade is made from Japanese AUS 8A stainless steel, which is vacuum-heat-treated and sub-zero-quenched for maximum toughness. The blade's black Teflon coating, meanwhile, boosts corrosion resistance, enhances cutting power, and improves edge retention. The blade is supported by Cold Steel's state-of-the-art Tri-Ad lock, which has been tested to resist shock induced by blows on the spine or over-strike that lands on the handle. The Mini AK-47 supplements the blade toughness with a rugged, rigid, and incomparably strong G-10 handle. Finally, the Mini AK-47 comes with an ambidextrous pocket clip and patented thumb plate. The thumb plate has a dual purpose: It allows you to draw and quickly open the knife by snagging it on the edge of a pocket, or you can use it like a conventional thumb stud or disc for easy one-handed opening. Specifications

When the Newhouse Tunnel, later called the Argo Tunnel, and its tributary gold mines were initially drilled, they were backbreakingly done so with a hand drill and hammer and black powder was used for blasting. Soon, pneumatic drills were developed. Compressed air was fed into the drill, which operated a piston that hammered the bit into the rock as it rotated in the chuck. Once the hole was deep enough, explosives were placed inside to break the ore into more manageable pieces. water was not used in conjunction with this particular drill to lubricate the bit so a huge amount of dust was created. The drill earned the nickname “widowmaker” because many of the men who operated the drill died from illnesses related to inhaling too much dust. Sometime later the drills were modified with a hole in the center of the drill steel and bit to allow pressurized water to turn the dust into a slurry. Dynamite became available and the tunnel was getting deeper and deeper. When electricity finally came to Idaho Springs, the tunnel had lights and the mules that had been used to pull the ore cars were replaced with electric locomotives. The Argo Gold Mine and Mill, at 2350 Riverside Dr, is a former mine and gold that opened on April 1, 1913 at the entrance of the 4.6-mile Newhouse Tunnel, later called the Argo Tunnel. The Tunnel was built between 1893 and 1910 to drain the gold mines in Virginia Canyon, Gilpin Gulch, Russell Gulch, Quartz Hill, Nevadaville, and Central City. The mill, one of the largest and most modern in Colorado, was built by R.E. Shimer to strip the valuable metals like gold, silver, copper and lead from the ore extracted from the tunnel. Following a flooding accident in 1943 that left four miners dead, the tunnel was closed, and Argo Mill ceased operations. The five-story mill sat abandoned until 1976 when it was purchased by James N. Maxwell, who renovated it and opened it to the public as a museum. The bottom level of the mill serves as a museum displaying mining and milling artifacts, old payroll records, milling receipts, and old photographs. After touring the Dougle Eagle mine, and the Argo Mill, visitors can pan for gold and gems. National Register #78000836 (1978)

This flat wall is known as a "Foot Wall" and is naturally occuring. Where the foot wall meets the overhanging rock is where the vein or seam is located. The vein could be from 1/2-inch to 6-inches thick and could assay from a trace of gold to several ounces per ton. The Double Eagle Gold Mine dates to the 1890's and was excavated with hand steel, hammers and blasting powder. It did not produce much gold.
